Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition characterised by the inward thickening of the heart muscle, resulting in a reduction of chamber volume, thereby reducing the volume of blood that the heart can pump with each contraction.

This sadly....makes the cats at risk of developing congestive heart failure and sudden death.

Julie is an activist in supporting and gathering funds for FIP & HCM, at TICA & CFA shows.

Julie has lost Mariah and King at only a few months old to FIP.

FIP is Feline infectious peritonitis and it is a fatal incurable disease that affects cats.

When I saw a photo of Jade.....I just had to paint her.

I asked Julie for the permission to use Jade as a model for a painting.

The rest is history. :))

I am giving this painting to Julie.in support of all she does to fund the WINN Foundation to help find a cure to FIP.

But I found the piece and it will be repaired tonight or tomorrow morning.

My cat portrait will have to wait till Sunday to continue.

Until it can be repaired..I started this 12 x 48 inch painting on a deco-canvas.( beveled sides ) It is a dry brush technique.something I do not do often......sort of fun to re-new with this technique.

I am still awaiting the deposit for my commissioned painting. I know this will be sent in a couple of weeks. :)))

About Me

Hi ! :)
I am an airbrush artist.
I do mostly wild life, and endangered wildlife.
When I paint wildlife, I try and capture the soul of the animal.
To every animal I paint, there is a story either sad or happy outcome.
Sometimes a small detail we never saw…. touches us.
My reason to paint has and always is to touch people, and support the wildlife & Nature conservation.
